Peach trees are deciduous fruit trees that belong to the genus Prunus. They are known for their sweet, juicy fruits, which are typically round and can be yellow, white, or red in color. These trees thrive in warm climates and require well-drained soil to grow effectively. They usually bloom in early spring, producing beautiful pink flowers before the leaves appear. The trees can reach heights of 15 to 25 feet and have a lifespan of about 15 to 20 years. Peach trees are often cultivated in orchards and are popular among home gardeners. They require regular pruning and care to ensure healthy fruit production.
